NASS 5-year strategy

220,000 adults in the UK live with axial SpA. There remains a long delay to diagnosis, and not everyone receives the same level of treatment care and support.

Our vision is to have a future with timely diagnosis and holistic care, supported by a united axial SpA community.

In our 5 year strategy we set out how we plan to move towards this with five goals for the coming years:

  1. To ensure that people with axial SpA are diagnosed within twelve months of symptom onset and receive the information and support they need.
  2. To create and embed a gold standard approach to treatment and care, integrating lived experience and clinical perspectives.
  3. To support and empower people to live well with axial SpA and feel part of a supportive community.
  4. To influence, advocate and educate for axial SpA.
  5. To ensure that NASS is able to deliver its ambitious programmes.
